Next year, Lowry will have a new and interesting sport underway. The new sport, kickball, will replace both soccer and golf.

The boys’ varsity and girls’ varsity golf and soccer teams will combine to form the ultimate kickball team. Soccer and golf will be removed from Lowry’s sports because interest in both has dropped.

Coach Billy Johnson will be preparing his team to compete. He wants his players to be a championship team.

“We have a chance to compete and bring a name back to Winnemucca,” said Johnson.

Senior Carlos Jenkins is excited about the girls’ and boy’s teams coming together to form the kickball team.

“I am super excited to show America what us rural towns can do,” said Jenkins.

Hailey Kilborn had some good things to say about the merger.

“This will bring back memories from our younger days at French Ford playing intramurals,” said Kilborn.

The new elite team will be traveling all around the state to compete against all of the other high school teams.

Tryouts will be held on February 15, 2018, and will go through February 20, 2018. To try out, you must bring your own kickball, gym clothes, and athletic shoes.
